Most Likely to Succeed
I recently attended a regional meeting at the Foundation Center in Atlanta. While there, I had the opportunity to hear Danah Craft, vice-president for Sun Trust Bank, speak about how to approach private foundations for funding. She gave some insight as to what types of organizations are most likely to receive funding from private foundation such as SunTrust Endowment.
This is her list of organizations she considers Most Likely to Succeed:
